this is such a cruel joke, but at the sametime, it’s SO funny to watch. (btw, mute unless you like horrible rock music.) – video discovered by @bikewobble. btw, if you come across a similar situation here in NYC, call 311 ASAP!
just a reminder that there is a thing called summer. (via Change Your Live. Ride a bike!)
on my block, my bike, a batavus personal bike, is the closest thing to the heavy-ass, all you can carry, i’m going to blind you with my headlights, watchout he’s taking up the whole lane SUV. but in good old amsterdamn, the bakfiets, those awesome dutch bucket bikes, have moved up from hipster/squatter transport to the loathed SUVs of Amsterdam…
i don’t know if this new super-extended bakfiet is a joke, a kin to workcycle’s anti-theft spray, but it sure does put the S in Sweet Urban Velo! i hope to god workcycle builds this puppy!
are you looking for that perfect dutch with all the bells and whistles? some might call this bike ugly, but others will rave about it being the creme-de-la-creme of commuting haas. not only does it have splash guards, rear O lock, tire pump, heavy duty rack, shocks, dyno, enclosed chain guard, and quick-adjust ergonomic handles… it’s comes with a Nuvinci Hub! this hub is the ultimate in “gearing” exuberance! it’s two gears and an infinite selection between the two…
this batavus retails for $1,500 and up! for $800 + $75 in shipping, this sucker is a steal!
My old buddies from Vespa Soho have decided to open up a new bicycle shop that’s focusing on dutch/urban bikes, cargo bikes and zero emission motorcycles. In celebration of their opening, they are inviting the #BikeNYC community to eat, drink and see their wares. Additionally, they are thinking about renting cargo bikes.
Join us this Tuesday, 8 Dec, from 7 pm – 9, for drinks, pizza and beer!!

can you believe that they are going to start selling this bike at $550 in the USA? it’s a damn dirty shame that they are getting rid of the front internal drum breaks and dynos to shave off $400 from the price. USA’rs should wise up and realize that front dynos are one of god’s best damn inventions. every bike should have one.
